The Cruise - Day 6: Cabo San Lucas

Cabo San Lucas was a very short day at port. We had to get up early and were off the boat by 8:30 am and had to be back by 3:00 pm. We took small boats to get to shore. When we got there we decided to do some shopping to get things for the kids so we hit the flea market. Todd and I found some awesome luchador wrestling masks for the boys. Todd wore it through the flea market while we shopped...it was hilarious.


This is the water taxi we took to Lovers Beach. Please notice the writing on it "Than's foor yours tip's". Ha ha!

This was the "Funtastic 4" ship and it really was a funtastic ride.

Our boat. The Carnival Splendor.

Lovers Beach was awesome. From one side you could see the Pacific Ocean and the other side (about 1/4 mile apart at most) was the Sea of Cortez. The only way to get to the beach was via water taxi and when we got there it was very empty. It filled up a few hours later but we had a great spot with sun and shade. It had great snorkeling too. I even went out to see the fish with Danny and Trent (Trent even took some underwater pictures that I need to get copies of).

Here's our group at Lovers Beach.
Steve, Christine, Mark, Emily, Danny, Timmy, Me and Todd

We thought it would be funny to take pictures at the sign. The sign says "To Lovers beach: Here all the beauty is natural, just live your trace on the sand." That isn't a spelling error on my part (live). HA HA HA!

Since it's Lovers Beach we had to do funny pictures too.

Mark and Steve decided to climb the rocks at the beach. Mark borrowed Christine's pink tennis shoes (so funny) and they took off up the rocks.

This boat cracked me up.

Jeannie and Trent got a later start than us so we left them with one of the walkie-talkies but we weren't sure where we were going so we knew it was a long shot. Trent called us from the tender boat and it was just close enough to hear us so they were able to meet up with us at the beach and hang with us the rest of the day.

At the end of the day when we were waiting for the funtastic 4 to pick us up Timmy had a great idea for us to make a wave photo. Here is our attempt to be a wave and Mark is the surfer. I'll be honest I don't think it worked out so well.


After Lovers beach we went to find some lunch. We were trying to find "Cabo Wabo" since there was some hole in the wall taco shop by it and after asking several locals where it was and getting the answer "3 blocks that way" and walking 10+ blocks a few of us gave up and ate at a different spot while others walked 3 more blocks and found it. After eating we did some more shopping and bought t-shirts and vanilla. Then we headed back to the boat and made it in line around 2:45. The line was so long to get back on the boat and our tender boat left around 3:05 (last boat was supposed to leave at 3:00) and there was still a very long line behind us.
